Quotes: How asset managers see the investment outlook at Milken

See below some of their comments:

EDWIN CONWAY, GLOBAL HEAD OF BLACKROCK ALTERNATIVES:

“This is a difficult environment to navigate. There’s so many more asset classes today than ever before. You just need to be very careful. There are still meaningful returns to be made, but risks are higher.”

KAREN KARNIOL-TAMBOUR, CO-CIO AT BRIDGEWATER ASSOCIATES

“The problem is that when you get paradigm shifts that really change the nature of the market environment, it takes a long time for that to get fully digested by investors.”

DAVID HUNT, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF PGIM

“I think that the market fundamentally underestimates the strength of the U.S. economy and therefore is underestimating both how high rates will need to go and how long they will need to stay there.”

BROOKS RITCHEY, CHAIRMAN AT K2 ADVISORS

“There’s a fairly sizable refinancing cycle coming up in both real estate and industrial companies. That’s going to put some pressure on highly indebted sectors. So fixed income long-short hedge fund managers feel that there’s going to be very interesting distressed opportunities in eight, ten, twelve months.”

JACOB KOTZUBEI, CO-PRESIDENT OF PLATINUM EQUITY

“We are in an amplified uncertain environment. You have to be prepared for higher (interest rates) for longer.”
